Graceling gets 7 out of 10
I read this book yesterday- I had heard it had made quite a splash in the literary world of Young Adult fiction- and I have to say, it was pretty good. I mean, don't get me wrong, this is not the magnificent prose of Stephenie Meyer, but it wasn't a bad way to spend the afternoon. The first 60 percent of the book is very good, but near the end the momentum is lost and I found myself consciously turning pages, pressing myself to finish. It was also fairly violent, and the villian is a little disturbed. If you're going to be traveling (Ashley) and need something to entertain your brain, this one's not too bad. Borrow it, don't buy it.

thank you so much for sharing that. I am ALWAYS looking for a new book to read and there is nothing more frustrating than when you start a book and find out its crap. thank you.
So my long lost cousin, first of all--CONGRATULATIONS---Yea little slow, didn't now you were expecting!! That is great and I'm glad you are feeling better!! We definitely need to come and see you. I'll try to give you a call this week just to talk!! Lots of Love-Julie
You are so close to 20 weeks. I can't wait to find out what you are having! My hope is for a boy so Gage can have a brother. But a girl would be fun because you have the cutiest girl stuff:)
Congrats on the baby! I wish you guys wouldn't wait to find out what it is - I'm already dying to find out! I'm sure you look great - but I know how you feel. I'm not a big fan of the 16th week either. I'd rather take it from my face, lower back, etc, and put it on my stomach. Sorry you've been sick - call me anytime you need help.
